Ramadhan - A Month of Purification & Renewal

T'is the time of year for the holiest of months for many Muslims - Ramadhan...living in the world's most populated Muslim nation means that the intricacies of the fasting month are all around to see...from those food outlets that voluntarily close their doors during daylight hours to those that opt to whack up a few well-placed curtains and continue running their businesses...

As much as this month is an opportunity to cleanse one's soul and renew the vigor for the coming year, it is also a time for reflection of the year passed...perhaps a year where much was gained and much was lost, where there is cause to be thankful for all of life's little blessings...

To all of you who are Muslim and fasting - good luck in your fast and may you find strength in your beliefs...
